Origi scored in Liverpool’s 4-0 win against Barcelona at Wembley on Saturday, though he was part of the side beaten 4-0 in Mainz less than 24 hours later.

But despite that mixed bag of a weekend, he says the Reds head into the season in good shape.

“We want to achieve the highest targets possible,” he added.

“It’s never easy but we have to stick together as a team and as a club.

“We know there will be good moments and moments that will be more difficult, but eventually, if we stick together, if we have the same plan, the same ambition, the same hunger, and if every teammate tries to help each other, I think we will stand very strong.

“We have a very big group with very talented players and we have very good staff.

“Everything is there to do great things so we always have to keep hope and keep pushing until the end and if we do this I’m convinced we can surprise people this year.”
